Red woven flame mission alpha
This flame was made using weaving to optimally reproduce the many small details and colors that adorn the alpha logo. It is indeed possible to achieve such a level of detail when choosing to manufacture a woven remove before flight.
Unlike embroidery where each color uses a different thread, with weaving all the personalized elements are integrated directly into the background fabric twill.
